Original Wereform Klonoa for Monstrous Nightmares.
New redesigned Wereform Klonoa for Monstrous Nightmares Rewritten.
As you can tell, I redesigned my Wereform Klonoa for my AU Monstrous Nightmares, which is a rewrite of the unfinished webcomic Dream Traveler of Noctis Sol with a new plot and Sonic Unleashed twist. The story adds Dark Gaia minion inspired creatures called Nightmares, beings that are given power and forms through the Noctis Sol itself. They became Tenebrae Hue's minions after using the Noctis Sol to drain Lunatea of its powers. After absorbing some of the Noctis Sol's energy, Klonoa gains a Wereform that looks like the Nightmares.
The form has its advantages: enhanced strength and durability, a tail that can grab things, as well as having stretchy arms and ears that can turn into hands. Klonoa still retains his normal personality, but has to fight back the thoughts the Noctis Sol gives him since his mind is connected to it, as if he's turned into one of those creatures himself.
You can compare both designs if you wish!
Monstrous Nightmares and the Wereform Klonoa designs belong to me(Thunderheart); Klonoa belongs to Bandai Namco.

Klonoa would be infinitely better if a game had the final boss fight just be a fuckin' kaiju battle
Hell, if The Dream Traveler of Noctis Sol had been able to continue, that could've been a possibility
Imagine: Tenebrae Hue permanently turning into a huge monster version of himself and Klonoa defeating him while he's like that and possibly using Noctis Sol against him in the fight
THAT would be some good shit right there

Down The Cabbit Hole: The Weird World of Klonoa Literature - An Archive (Part 2)
[PART 1]
22 July 2022
As I slowly work my way towards Klonoa media completionism (pending), I find myself drawn to Dream Crusaders, a fan-made continuation to the cancelled Dream Traveller of Noctis Sol webcomic, written and illustrated by Esteban Girolami.
-
As you know, my opinions about that officially licensed material are overwhelmingly negative, nevertheless I am curious as to what this adventure may yield under a new direction and vision - which is automatically better than having neither direction nor vision at all.
-
To be perfectly blunt, there is absolutely no chance of redemption for that comic. It was a doomed enterprise the second Huepow showed up out of nowhere. Its mere existence is offensive. That said, I'm glad this "sequel" starts off with these two. I'm keenly aware of the hypocrisy.
-
Nightmare Klonoa's face game appears to be in top shape, which is swell since the original story did not give me any reason whatsoever to care about this doofus. I only now notice the cute detail of the Pac-Man's ghost hat.
-
Actually using loosely established lore from Lunatea's Veil to inform your narrative? Alright, Dream Crusaders, you have my attention.
-
Ah, I see. You are using your story as a thinly-veiled excuse to bring back iconic series antagonists for fan-service purposes. I can respect that. At least, you are providing something that your audience might want to see.
-
This is how you are choosing to characterize the Goddess Claire, eh? Go on.
-
Thou shalt not make Nightmare Klonoa likeable.
-
Hurray!
-
Honestly, that's a power move on the writer's part.
-
Excuse me? How dare you come at me with that expression!? I don't appreciate being specifically targeted!
-
Oh no, I love her.
-
As far as fanfictions go, this is giving me exactly the kind of inanity I would enjoy from the medium. It is not a good Klonoa story but it's clearly having fun with its dumb premise. Goddess Claire, in full anime super villain mode, is the unquestionable MVP.
-
I get the feeling this author does not particularly care about Guntz, which the only acceptable behaviour when it comes to Guntz.
-
"Oh don't mind me, I'm just going to Naruto pose in the background of this exposition panel."
-
Gasp! It's the bandana-wearing Moo! Legally distinct from the bandana-wearing Waddle Dee!
-
"I promise not to obliterate the elderly, metaphorically or otherwise."
-
It's Trauma Bunny!
-
Ah, an appropriate pairing. Trash belong together, after all.
-
"Hyuck!"
-
Original Character. Do Not Steal.
-
I am a man of simple pleasures.
-
He looks just right.
-
Well, this is awkward.
-
As of this date, that was the last currently available page for Dream Crusaders. I am enjoying this fan-interpretation of a failed project quite a bit. It might be just a load of fan-service and entirely self-indulgent but it's the passionate, dedicated sort of fan-service driven fanfiction.
-
It is everything Noctis Sol was not: the exact opposite of a soulless, dull, visionless drivel, one that actually takes the time and care to properly write sufficiently-defined characters and consistent story beats. I will continue to read it in the future.
-
Conclusively, it's a fun read and the artwork is high quality, more professionally sequenced and framed than the *official* webcomic series. Unfortunately, you would have to go through that abomination in order to get to the good part.
---
With this dream firmly behind us, like a distant memory of childhood, it is time to burrow ourselves down, deeper and deeper, into the Cabbit Hole in order to unearth older, much more obscure materials. Next time, we enter the positively drizzling underworld of Klonoa's "scanlations" and any remaining miscellanea, thus finally bringing my archive up to speed. Stay drowsy, fellow Phantomilians.
